Well, I got the 6.2 mkserv to work on the RT, finally.  Instructions
follow.  Please don't read on a full stomach. 8-)

Install the workstation as 6.2A.  Reboot.  Make sure you have 6.2A
packs attached.  (You may have to shutdown here.  I did the rest in
single-user mode.)

setenv SRVDIR /urvd/root/servers
csh $SRVDIR/mkserv stand <whatever-else-you-want>

Sometime after you see "Converting machine to run w/o the system
packs" you should see that real files are being tracked into /bin.
After /bin/rcp gets tracked in, but before track gets to /etc/t*, stop
the script with a ^Z.

rm /bin/ftp /bin/rcp

This leaves enough space on the root for track to conplete.  When
mkserv is done, 

cp -p /urvd/root/bin/{rcp,ftp} /bin/

There should be enough space left in the root partition to hold
everything.
